The Wedding

Intro verse 1 He air was swaying round the first guitar I remember We crossed the river by the Ostrum wall 'neath the stars To where the wedding filled the hall My father sang a song Crossing the river, caught in the rain Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain Link verse 2 Chased Cathy round the trestles at the edge of the eightsome We watched the lovers round the lodge at the edge of the sea White lights and wooden boards We watched the village take the floor Crossing the river, caught in the rain Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain Link Bridge There is so much I could say to you, but Tonight I'm sticking to the past like glue When life gets tough, when times get hard You have to know exactly who you are Arm in arm, hand in hand You take this woman, you take this man Spirit dancing evermore Endless circles round the floor Link verse 3 Last night I drove my children down by the river Past the windows of the hall and the dusts of our years Then the radio came on They said "someone's playing our song" Crossing the river, caught in the rain Crossing the rhythm, caught in the rain Outro Crossing the river, caught in the rain Crossing the rhythm, caught (caught, caught) in the rain Crossing the river Mark W
